Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers

Effective as of January 14, 2008, our Board of Directors enlarged the number of directorships by one, to a total of nine, and appointed W. Phillip Marcum to fill the vacant directorship. Mr. Marcum’s term will run until the next annual meeting of our shareholders at which directors are elected. Mr. Marcum has not served in any capacity for us prior to this appointment, and there are no arrangements or understandings between him and any other person pursuant to which he was selected to serve as a director. Mr. Marcum has not yet been named to any committees of the Board, but we expect him to serve on at least one, and perhaps more, of our Board committees.

Mr. Marcum will be entitled to standard compensation for service as a non-management director, which includes $18,000 a year, payable as a combination of cash (up to a maximum of $9,000) and/or common stock (valued at fair market value as of the day of grant), at the election of the director, plus standard meeting attendance fees. Mr. Marcum was also granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock under our 2005 Director’s Compensation Plan, which is exercisable at $10.09 per share, and which will vest evenly over a three year period, with one third of the option vesting at the end of each year of service.

No transactions between us and Mr. Marcum have occurred or are contemplated that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 404(a).
